The Mid Wales Hospital Talgarth, formally the Mid Wales Counties Mental Hospital, also known as the Mid Wales Counties of Breconshire and Radnorshire Asylum was built in 1906 in the Echelon style for 1,000 patients, closed in 1994 and sold in 1999.
It's also an astonishing place, because it's virtually completely intact, has no graffiti, no broken windows and hasn't been trashed. There is some evidence of reclaimation, but not a great deal. A lot of material is also still sitting around in rooms. While some paintwork is peeling it's all in a very sound condition at the moment. I've taken a poke around the web and found very few references to it so far, other than factual information, and no internal shots.
I took a lot of photographs which are in a Flickr group that also includes images taken of Denbigh at http://www.flickr.com/groups/313012@N25/
